Ritual
Once a Sadhu finished meditation and got up to find a wounded kitten. As he was a very kind man, he took the kitten to his ashram and started taking care of it. The kitten eventually recovered and grew to be a pet to Sadhu. The kitten was a very naughty one, it always play around the sadhu. 
The Sadhu began to get distracted from his meditation. So one day, the Sadhu asked one of his followers to tie the kitten to the tree in front of the ashram. The disciple did so without a question. In some time it became a practice that whenever the sadhu started to meditate, the kitten will be tied to the tree. After some time, the Sadhu passed away. The senior-most monk who now became the sadhu, continued to tie the kitten to the tree while he was meditating. The practice continued. Every sadhu followed the ritual of tying the kitten to the tree when they meditated. After sometime the cat died..
The whole ashram was under chaos, thinking and brought a new cat to the ashram to tie it to the tree while the sadhus meditated.
All of us are like the sadhus. We do not know the intention why some rituals were practiced, yet we follow blindly without any purpose.
Following any path without knowing where it leads or what its purpose was is like hitting in the dark

The shop had puppies at quite a high price. Kuttoos approached the owner of the shop and told him about his savings and his determined to have a puppy. The owner told him that the puppies in the shop are too expensive and the boy will not be able to afford them. The boy walked along side of the owner and was watching the puppies in each of the kennel and he happened to notice one puppy among all.  When all the puppies were running and playing around, this one wasn't moving. Kuttoos...

KUTTY STORY 1

STORY.1 It is not necessary that time favours you every time. Sometimes, it teaches a lesson : How to lead a disciplined life through difficulties Once there were two youngsters, one had an office job and the other, being blind, used to beg on the pavement of the office complex where the other worked.  The employee was never appreciated by anyone in his office and so he was demotivated. He had a tough time at his work place. Everyday, the employee on his way to and from his office, watched the blind beggar. One day he saw the begger with a note saying 'I am Blind'.

These circumstances forced the young chap to work in a basket ball court as a caretaker. Heirs of many big shots enjoyed playing games at the court and the janitor boy was an obvious victim of their nasty jokes. Besides his goal to be graduated, he eventually took interest in the game. He requested the guys who used the facility for a chance to be part of the game but, as expected, disrespect and rejection was the result!! Ram was not aimed for the basket no miracle happened, the ball didn't reach the basket. The gigglings and sarcastic comments couldn't reach anywhere near Ram. Ram asked the guys for some time to practice. They were kind and they gave him time, expecting more misses from him....
